PWA Push Notes

Siberian PWA Web Push notification limitations:

  • You can’t send individual or scheduled push notifications in PWA.
  • You can’t open internal pages of an app using a click action link.

Notes:

  • Starting from PWA Creator v3.0.0, Web Push Notification is supported in Android Chrome, Windows Chrome, macOS Chrome, iOS Safari (iOS 16.4+ Standalone mode), and macOS Safari 16 on macOS Ventura or higher.
  • Web Push notification also supports on Android Firefox, Android Opera, Android Samsung Internet, Windows Firefox, Windows Edge, Windows Opera, macOS Firefox, macOS Edge and macOS Opera. For some browsers, notification settings may require configuration in both the browser and operating system.
  • On iOS Safari 16.4+, PWA push subscribe prompt will be displayed only after the PWA has been added to the home-screen (Standalone mode).
  • After successfully subscribing to web push, a success message like “Successfully subscribed for push” will be displayed. You can customize this message in the PWA Creator editor module and also enable a welcome push notification.
  • If the user has subscribed to or blocked web push, the push subscribe prompt won’t be shown again.
  • You can manage when to display the push subscribe prompt based on the number of visits. It will display on the first visit and then after every X visits as set in the push subscribe details section.
  • You can only subscribe to web push one time per domain. This means if you have multiple push-enabled PWAs on the same domain and you have already subscribed to push in an earlier PWA, you can’t subscribe to push in your other PWAs. As an admin, you will face this situation often during testing, so always uninstall your old PWAs, clear browser cookies and cache, and reset push permissions while testing your new PWA.
